I did not implement the trajectory parsing myself but I'm using the VMD
plugins for this (in case my email wasn't clear in this point).
The molfile API is meant as such a central location. And it supports all
trajectory formats I know of, including the different versions of DCD.
The molfile API also includes a plugin which uses OpenBabel in case the
builtin plugins don't support the format.
